awesome... any progress?

Sorry I didn't respond right away. I'm a grad student and I'm trying to knock out a paper. Its not due until NEXT Friday, but I'm leaving for a week-long conference on Monday and don't get back until next Friday... Luckily it doesn't have to be terribly long 2000-3000 words. Whatever you want to try...

Hey man...thanks for the response. My friend wrote it, and had a really positive response. I helped him with the basics of tracking this song, but it was NOT good. His timing was off and his friend tried to add a drum beat and electric guitar (in one take) on top of it afterwards with a keyboard. th...

Hey guys. I don't want to sound way too spammy, so I won't link to the song, but I've got a college-student friend who is about to track a song, and I need a drum track for it. He's a songwriter guy with an acoustic and a few other instruments thrown in. Is there a good place (here or elsewhere onli...

Thanks for your suggestions so far guys.

I've used reaper a little, but I don't like it much so far. The workflow of Tracktion is so unique, and I'm used to a more visual layout of stuff (rather than logical).

I might have to check out Ableton

I need some advice from you guys. I'm a former Tracktion user (both 1 and 2) and spent many great years of my life making music and recording with it on XP machines. I love what it did and still can do under XP. I just graduated college in May and I'm married with 2 kids (3 year old and 5 month old)...

Those drums sound really good to me...Overall, nice work man!

By 2 58's, do you mean just SM58s? And these were the ONLY mics you used?

It sounds really good...and nice voice!

I really am getting great results using this method. I went from having 2-4 plugs PER DRUM TRACK, to pretty much (besides the sends and bus compression) only 1 or none! For me, my drum tracks are WAAAY more balanced overall... I'm also freeing up SO MUCH processing power on my feeble Sempron3000+ sy...

Wow...thanks :D I was really expecting a lot of comments saying it was junk. I think it sounds good, but I'm not as experienced as many of you. Thank you so much for the kind words. thingwiththestuff, I agree...the guitar (after the intro) does sound a bit harsh. It should be a smoother sound. If th...

Thanks

One thing I did notice, is that in certain parts of the song, the snare gets buried. I might throw the snare and kick on an aux channel and compress it to death

....really? nobody has advice?

Overall mix too treble heavy? To thin bass?

Is it that bad

I was given the opportunity to record a band. This is the second band I've recorded (besides all my day to day self-demos and such). The fist band I recorded wanted to do 3 songs in 4 hours, and took all sorts of first takes, out of tune guitars, bad tone, and so on. I didn't want that to happen thi...

Mike, your stuff always makes me smile.

Ok,

So from the Y cable, 1 can go to the amp, and 1 can go direct into the Hi-Z input of my UA1000?

I could take that dry signal and run it into a processor without any problems?

But I would need a reamp box if I wanted to take that dry recorded sound and run it through an amp?

Thanks
